CADDY-BAG- DISPLAY RACK AND STAND.

' Application mea December a?, 1923. serial No. 682,950.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, LoUrs BREER, a citi-Zen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Caddy-Bag Display Rack and Stand, of which the following is a specification.

An object of this invention is to provide a movable display rack and stand that is neatv and pleasing in appearance, that isl effective in holding on display an article such as a ribbed or self-supporting caddy bag,without injurious contact therewith and to display such articles without detracting attention therefrom,

Another object is to provide a rack and stand that will hold a ribbed or self-supporting caddy bag in an upright position without unnecessary contact with the articles such as would tarnish, injure or mar the supported article.

Another vabject is to provide a self-supporting caddy bag display rack and stand from which such caddy bag supported thereby cannot be easily and accidentally released and allowed to fall.

Another object is to provide a ribbed caddy bag supporting appliance that can be easily, quickly and cheaply installed in a locker box or cabinet with minimum interference with the storage of other articles.

Features of invention are shown in the construction, arrangement and combination ofthe various parts whereby a substantial and durable rack and stand is provided.

An object is ease of manipulation, for attac-hing the article to, and detaching it from the stand.

In this application the ribbed or selfsupporting caddy bag referred to, means a caddy bag -that is provided with the usual steel, reed or wood stays which prevent the body of the bag from collapsing and maintains the mouth of the bag in spaced relation to the bottom of the bag.

Fig. 2 is a cross-section on line m2, Fig. l showing a plan view of a movable baseto which the upright of the appliance can be attached.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmental elevation in section on line m3, Fig. 2, showing the appliance supporting a ribbed caddy bag,

also in section.

Fig. 4 is a fragmental axial section showing the appliance as adapted for installation in a locker box or gun cabinet and in use supporting a ribbed cadd bag.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged ragmental section on line x5, Fig. 4. i

The caddy bag display stand comprises a supporting appliance having the telescoping cylindrical members 1, 2 that are provided with a spring 3 by which they are normally held together and b which they are permitted to have yiel ing telescoping movement.

The movable supporting member 1 is preferably a rod having its lower end threaded at 4 to screw into a socket 5 of a movable base, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, and the member 2 is preferably a tube that is adapted to telescope over the rod 1.

The spring 3 in Figs. 1 and 3 is arranged in the cylindrical member 2 and it has its lower end secured to an eye 9 in the upper end of the rod 1; and the other end of this spring is secured to a pin 10 adjacent the hooked end 11 of the member 2, and the tension of the spring tends to force the member 2 endwise of the member 1 and toward the threaded end 4.

This member 2 is slotted at 12 and a screw 13 is extended through this slot and secured in the rod 1 adjacent the eye 9 to-Y limit the movement of the member 2 either toward or from the threaded end 4 of the member 1.

In practice the stand is operated to hold a ribbed caddy bag 14 the mouth or rim 15 of which is first inserted underneath the hook 11 which is then drawn upward from the base 6 against the tension of the spring 3 until the bagcan be seated on the base 6 in which position it is held firmly as shown in Figs.k1, 3 by the tension of the spring 3.

yIt is understood, of course, that the caddy bag 14 is provided with the customary spaced steel,y reed or wood ribs 16, one of which is shown in Fig. 3, that are strong enough to resist the downward pressure of the spring 3. Itis also understood that the Vconst,Iuct.0,11 of the caddy bag is old and .a movable supporting member;

well known and forms no part of this invention.

In constructing the appliance for use in a locker box or cabinet 17 as shown in Figs. l, 5, l preferably construct each of the inenibers 1, 2 ot tubes and reverse their telescoping order. That is, the member 1 is secured to a support -by being fixed in the locker box by screws .18 that entend through the lianges 19; and it is arranged below the member 2 4which in this instance carries the hook end 11 that is adapted to engage and hold a ribbed caddy bag 14C.

'ln this construction and arrangement of parts the operation of the appliance is substantially the same as that shown in Figs. l, 2,73-

By the foregoing construction7 the meinber 1 is held stationary and the member 1 held in telescoping relation thereto by the tension ot the spring 3 so that the member 2 is moved against the tension ot spring to catch the hook 11 over the caddy bag 14 in a manner similar to the construction shown in Figs. 1 3.

It is understood that l may secure the member 1 to any suitable support which may be any of the walls 20 ot the locker box 17 where it may be conveniently reached by openingthe door 21.

In operation, the appliance is attached to the base G, or wall Q0 ot thc locker 17 and operated as described. vWhen connected to the base G, the rod 1 is attached to the o'll'set extension 30 so that a major portion of the base is clear to support the bottom end 31 of the caddy bag 14:.

By the foregoing construction l have provided ribbed'caddy bag supporting means whereby a person desiring to store such bag may conveniently do so by the use ot one hand only. That is the ribbed caddy bag being carried in one hand the player or other person merely inserts the mouth ol the bag underneath the hook 11 and `iaises the member 2 against the tension oi' the spring 3 untilthe botom oit the bag can be brought into position. The spring 3 tends to ldraw the telescoping members together and holds the bottom of the bag against the support G or floor of the locker as the case may be.
